The study is aimed at developing and using co-precipitated hydroxides (CPH) of aluminum and magnesium as sorbents, in order to reduce the negative impact of oil-containing industrial wastes on natural and artificial waterways. A new method of synthesizing a modified sorbent has been developed, featuring high sorption capacity to a wide range of pollutants in low-acid, neutral, and low-alkaline environments, able to extract complex compounds. A possibility to use this sorbent has been shown, and its sorption capacity has been studied. Sorption parameters have been defined. It has been shown that the value of the maximum achievable concentration efficiency in extracting the said ions on a co-precipitated sorbent is about ten times higher than the corresponding values that characterize sorption on analogous sorbents. In performing analytical studies, standard methods were used, as well as modern methods of physical and chemical analysis: x-ray phase, x-ray fluorescent, atomic absorption, spectral, chemical, thin layer chromatography, and chromato-mass-spectrometry. The specific surface of the samples was defined by the temperature of nitrogen absorption, using the chromatographic method, followed by processing the obtained results using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method. Porosity was defined using mercury porometry. The performed research has made it possible to obtain new highly efficient sorbents and assess their economic efficiency. The performed research will make it possible to resolve ecological and social problems by preventing the damage caused by environmental pollution with anthropogenous wastes.
